Chapter 267 Arrears
"Then each family will nominate one person, and it will be an odd number. If something happens, there will be no tie if you raise your hands and vote." The aunt said, her character is always low-key, gentle and gentle, there is only one place The exception is this small courtyard: "Also, we have to choose a leader. I think our elder sister should do this."
"That must be Senior Sister He." Aunt Liu also said: "Sister He, back then But the provincial representative, who among the workers in our compound has not been brought out by her? The provincial leaders have said that Senior Sister He is an expert at bringing out the best!"
This can be seen now! people still retain With her simplicity and simplicity, her outlook has not been shattered by materialistic desires. With her character and prestige accumulated in the cotton mill, He Erjia is still the best candidate to lead them in the eyes of the juniors and juniors in the courtyard. .
"Oh, I can't do this. I can't do this anymore." Ernie He waved her hands repeatedly: "I am a drag on everyone now. You see what I just said is that I am a drag on Yuanjiang."< br>
"Sister, please don't say that." The aunt said quickly: "If you hadn't gone to the factory cafeteria every day to ask for rice soup, Yuanjiang would still be there now."
At that time, the aunt was not The workers in the cotton yarn mill are not old enough either. The parents above are dead, and there is a younger sister and a younger brother below.
It was Ernie He who saw that it was nothing serious. Relying on her status as a labor representative, she visited the factory several times and promised to bear all the consequences, so she arranged for the two sisters to enter the cotton yarn factory. .
Later, after the second aunt got a job, she had the chance to go to the Yuzhou Woolen Textile Factory and spread her business there. Yuzhou’s cousin was also in the woolen textile factory. When Yuzhou was in short supply of materials, it was my father who took care of it. Chuan helped buy the color TV, and Mrs. Zhao’s suit-making skills were brought over from Yuzhou by her cousin.
The most important thing was the rice soup from the cotton mill. The rice soup was added with sweet potatoes and half of He Ernuo’s rations to feed her father who was still very young at the time.
At this point, the topic turned to the stage of reminiscing about the past and present, and everyone no longer discussed He Erjia's appointment as the chairman of the management committee, as it seemed to be a matter of course.
Speaking of the hard days in those days, my aunt’s family was a typical example in this compound. I talked about my father’s hair turning half white when he was twelve years old, and when he was six years old, he carried a basin to the river dam. Fetch water from below, use a skip to catch small fish, roast them dry and mix with salt to eat.
Dad picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about the hard days in the past. At that time, the leaders were all swollen, and it was the same everywhere in the country."
"But after all, it is over. , now the days are getting better and better, next, just It will be better.”
Zhou Zhi is not worried about any big changes or bad effects of this matter. No matter what happens in the future, it can be said that real estate is the cheapest now, and house prices will continue to rise in the future. At this time, everyone will only be grateful for dad's initiative today.
It's not difficult to operate. Now is the time when dad and his generation are in the prime of life. It would be troublesome for ordinary people to handle all aspects of urban construction bureau, design institute, contractor, water, electricity, gas... But for dad and the others, , it’s a relatively simple matter.
This is the kind of person who wants to go out and have bean curd rice on a weekend morning. If you walk a few steps, you will meet an old acquaintance and chat for three or two minutes. If you walk a few steps, you will meet an old acquaintance and chat for three or two minutes. It was only five or six minutes away, but I was surprised to be able to make connections in a small county town in half an hour.
What Zhou Zhi is more interested in is how concerned his father is about this matter and his confidence in finding fund-raising investors.
There are two New Year's dinners at my aunt's house. After the meal, everyone sat and chatted about Longmen Zhen. Dad was caught by everyone because he suggested raising funds to build a building and drank an extra drink, which was a little too much. .
My father drinks wine just like Liu Dachuan. He goes to bed after drinking. After sending his father to his aunt's bed to sleep, he carefully accompanies his mother who is very interested in patrolling the back of the yard.
The courtyard is adjacent to Laohe Street on one side and high on the river bank on the other.
The end of the stone road on Laohe Street basically ends here. Beyond that, it becomes a gravel road, leading to Caiba in the suburbs. There are large areas of fish ponds and vegetable fields. More than 100,000 urban residents in Jiachuan County provide their daily needs with vegetables. The side facing the river is an earth slope, and the courtyard is on the top of the earth slope. There are several small windows on the wooden wall on the side of the yard facing the river. Outside the windows is a relatively flat ground, with some mulberry trees, wolfberry trees, and other trees growing outside. Some plants like castor and peony.
My mother frowned when she saw it, but Zhou Zhi said: "It doesn't cost much to transform this place into a small garden, just like the one beside the playground of the Grand Central School. Bamboo fenced clay pot overlooking the river The scenery, overlooking the White Tower, is very beautiful."
My mother turned to look at the dilapidated wooden wall and blue tile courtyard, and imagined the height of the buildings here: "Elbow, do you want to raise pigeons. ?”
"No, it will take at least more than a year to wait for the approval to be repaired, right? I was living in a dormitory at Shu University at that time."
"I am studying at Shu University, won't I come back during the holidays?" Mom He was good at tempting and coercive: "How many pigeon eggs have you eaten from Tingting? These are all favors, and you won't pay them back in the future?"< br>
“Why should I return it?” Zhou Zhi said: “It was originally my pigeon, and I also made the pigeon house on the rooftop. Now I still have to give Tingting ten yuan every month to buy grain sorghum and wheat. , I also found the soaked gravel that the pigeons eat. So what happened to me eating a few pigeon eggs?”
“ Look, don’t you like the river view the most? What if we take down the top floor and make it a garden like your sixth sister’s house?”
"It doesn't matter if I like it. I think I have the conditions to be able to see the mountains all red and the forests dyed; the rivers full of green and hundreds of battles. "Flow. Eagles are flying in the sky, fish are flying in the shallows, and all kinds of frosty sky are competing for freedom." This is certainly good, but if there are no conditions, just in the study salon, "just the classmate is in his prime, and he is full of scholarly energy." It is also good to point out the country and inspire the words.
"Don't talk nonsense with me here!" Mom patted Zhou Zhi and said, "Your father doesn't care about money. It's not like you don't know how much the family's expenses have been recently. It's not like you have relatives coming to see Tian'er. Look at this collection of funds. What should I do?"
Before Zhou Zhi thought about how to tease his mother again, her mother had already spoken: "This family business will still be in the future. Isn’t it all yours? Who else can I give it to besides you?”
“Mom, you are so polite.” A small single room can be purchased for more than 1,000 yuan, and then we can raise funds to build a house. A 100-square-meter house will never cost more than 6,000 yuan. This total is It’s about seven thousand yuan.”
“You don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are!” My mother was anxious: “Where did your family get the money? It just increased a little this year. Didn’t you just rely on it in previous years? Is it enough for me to do the accounting for you, Miss Liu? That video room, and the game room, don’t think I don’t know how much money you and Dayong make every month!”
"Mom, didn't you hear me tell you yesterday how to help my godfather buy the exhibits for the cultural center? Those things cost money." Zhou Zhi changed hands and sold his godfather: " Now the cultural center owes our family a lot of money, so you should take this opportunity to talk to your godfather and settle the debt first.”
"How much does your godfather owe you?"
"It's hundreds of dollars at least."
"I heard your godmother say that your approach is wrong. "My mother said, "Many of those things have unknown origins and can be confiscated by the state."
“Exchange the old for the new, one to eight. I don’t want much, so this is already a contribution.” Zhou Zhi rolled his eyes: “If you want to do what you said, then don’t do anything. No one is a fool."
